Does the 1st time always hurt?

No, the first time doesn't always hurt. Some people feel discomfort, some feel nothing unusual, and for some it's painful. It varies a lot.

When it does hurt, it's usually because of nervousness, not being aroused enough, or rushing into it. When you're nervous, your muscles tense up, which can make penetration uncomfortable. When you're aroused, the vagina naturally relaxes and produces lubrication, which makes things much more comfortable. Skipping that step is one of the main reasons the first time hurts.

Using lube can help a lot, especially the first time. There's nothing wrong with using it, and it doesn't mean your body isn't working properly. It just makes things easier.

If something hurts, you can slow down, change what you're doing, or stop. You should always feel able to stop. Pain isn't something you're supposed to push through during sex.

If sex is consistently painful beyond the first time, it's worth speaking to a GP or sexual health clinic. There are common, treatable reasons for it.
